So sorry to hear about Louise. I worked with her for many years at Edwards Grocery on the Boulevard. She was always so neat and friendly.
We would take breaks at the same time sometimes and I enjoyed talking with her.
I am glad she does not have to suffer more ! She is resting in the arms of God.
I pray God will be with each family member.
